Ye Liuyun and Minglun talked in their small courtyard all morning, and then sent Minglun away. Ye Liuyun went to the Golden Blade Guard Logistics Office to collect the monster horse.
afternoon.
Ye Liuyun rushed to Qizhou.
Qizhou and the imperial capital are separated by two continents, and the journey is far away. Ye Liuyun must set off as soon as possible.
This time, Ye Liuyun was alone, alone and lonely.
Traveling all the way, we soon passed by Shenzhou and then entered the boundary of Yunzhou.
Unknowingly, Ye Liuyun came to Qizhou.
At this time, more than half a month has passed.
These days, Ye Liuyun has been on the road all the time, except for giving the beasts and horses a rest, there is no extra movement.
Ye Liuyun originally thought there would be an assassination, but unexpectedly there wasn't one.
There is no such thing in the "simulator". It seems that the other party is very honest this time. Perhaps it is said that the other party has put all their plans in the "Bone City"?
This time the "Bone City" has been turned into a dragon's pond and a tiger's den, are you just waiting for Ye Liuyun to throw himself into the trap?
Eighteen days after leaving the imperial capital, Ye Liuyun finally arrived at Bone City, Huajun, Qizhou.
This is an important border town. The city is very high and can be called an iron wall.
Looking at the thick and tall city gate, Ye Liuyun felt a little sad. It would be very difficult to break through such a defense. It could only be defeated from the inside.
Ye Liuyun came to the city gate without making any unnecessary moves or even thinking about concealing his traces and investigating quietly.
That's not his style.
"I am the special envoy of the Golden Sword Guard from the imperial capital. Take me to see Mr. Qian of your Tiger Guard." Ye Liuyun said calmly.
After hearing this, the two guards at the city gate changed their expressions slightly and cupped their hands towards Ye Liuyun.
"Sir, please come with me."
One of the guards said.
Ye Liuyun nodded and followed a guard to the city lord's mansion in the "Bone City".
Chief Qian of the "Hu Ben Guards" also serves as the city lord of the "Bone City".
It's just that this guy is incompetent and actually threw away something as important as the "Military Defense Map".
City Lord's Mansion, above the hall.
A man with a beard appeared in front of Ye Liuyun and said, "Chief Commander Jiang Shuwu of the Tiger Guards has met the special envoy of the Golden Blade Guards."
When Ye Liuyun saw Jiang Shuwu, he was slightly startled. He didn't expect it to be him?
Ye Liuyun is no stranger to this person, his "Jinghong Wandering Dragon Step" is the martial arts of Jiang Shuwu.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Shuwu was actually President Qian of the "Hu Ben Guards", which somewhat surprised Ye Liuyun.
"Sir?" Jiang Shuwu looked at Ye Liuyun who was in a daze and called out.
"Um."
Ye Liuyun regained his composure, smiled slightly, and said, "I don't dare to take this title as my lord. I am Inspector Silver Knife, and you are President Qian. In fact, we are on the same level."
Jiang Shuwu gave a bitter smile and said: "How can I, a sin-stricken person, dare to be on the same level as your Excellency? After this case, Your Excellency will definitely be promoted, and I... can escape unscathed. I will be very happy."
Ye Liuyun shrugged his shoulders.
"What clues do you have?"
Jiang Shuwu shook his head and sighed: "Investigating cases is not my specialty. Everything is left to the adults."
Ye Liuyun looked at Jiang Shuwu and was a little surprised. This guy's posture was too low.
Is he really this kind of character, or is he deliberately trying to confuse him?
But nothing matters anymore.
"I just came here and found that the city gate was not blocked?" Ye Liuyun frowned.
Jiang Shuwu quickly explained, "On the day of the incident, I had already issued an order that only people could enter and not leave the Bone City."
"Yeah." Ye Liuyun said appreciatively, "Not bad, quite clever."
Jiang Shuwu couldn't help but feel strange when he saw Ye Liuyun, who was so much younger than him, praising him.
"I wonder what your lord's orders are next?" Jiang Shuwu asked.
"Hand over all the heavyweights." Ye Liuyun said casually.
He did know that in the last simulation, he conducted a blanket search in Bone City, but did not find the so-called "military defense map."
Therefore, Ye Liuyun directly omitted this step this time.
All high-ranking people in the entire "Bone City" must be hypnotized.
By then, the news that needs to be known will naturally be known.
"This..." Jiang Shuwu looked at Ye Liuyun in surprise, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Sir, this Bone City is not that simple."
"Um?"
Ye Liuyun was a little suspicious and said, "If you have anything to say, just say it. Also, just call me Ye Liuyun."
"Master Ye," Jiang Shuwu said, "Our bone city is an important border town, so the local snakes here are quite important, and..."
"...the branch of "Xinmo Academy", one of the seventy-two academies in the world, is right here."
Ye Liuyun was almost startled when he heard this. He knew that no one in No. 72 Academy was easy to mess with.
Fortunately, it's just a branch now, so it's not that exaggerated.
"Who is the strongest?" Ye Liuyun asked.
Jiang Shuwu replied: "Of course it is the head of the Xiang family, Xiang Guichen. He is the dean of the Ximo Academy branch and the head of the Xiang family branch."
"Separate families?" He frowned.
"Yes." Jiang Shuwu smiled bitterly, "It's the Xiang family who is one of the five great families in the Great Xia Dynasty. It's the Xiang family who holds the unparalleled number one spot on the second-grade Heavenly Ranking."
"..."
Ye Liuyun was shocked when he heard this.
Number one on the second-grade Heavenly Ranking?
You must know that Su Jinglan, the Eighth Sage King who is seventh on the second-grade Heavenly Ranking, is already the most powerful boss Ye Liuyun has ever seen.
Now, a second-grade person pops up to be number one on the Heavenly Ranking?
Xiang Wushuang?!
This Xiang family is really tougher than Ye Liuyun imagined!
Ye Liuyun looked at Jiang Shuwu and finally understood. No wonder this guy has such a good temper.
This guy has such a humble attitude. It’s really hard to be humble in this bone city!
Anyone around is a big boss, and this grandson of Jiang Shuwu must be used to it.
No wonder the last time Ye Liuyun detained Xiang Guichen, he was immediately surrounded and died. He had stirred a hornet's nest.
Seeing Ye Liuyun deep in thought, Jiang Shuwu asked cautiously: "Master Ye, do you still want to call this person?"
"Call." Ye Liuyun said immediately.
This noble minister is just the head of a branch family, not Xiang Wushuang, what a fright.
Of course, the main reason is that the "simulator" has already simulated it, and this time he will come back victorious.
So, if you continue to tie your hands and feet, won't you be wronging yourself?
"OK."
Jiang Shuwu took a deep look at Ye Liuyun. It seemed that this person's background was relatively behind him, and his backing was not weaker than Xiang Wushuang.
In this way, Jiang Shuwu no longer worries about being caught and used as a scapegoat.
afternoon.
In Bone City, the city lord Jiang Shuwu sent out an invitation, inviting all the prominent figures in Bone City to come and gather here.
banquet hall.
Ye Liuyun sat on the main seat, and Jiang Shuwu on the side introduced——
"This is the Bronze Sword Squadron of the Golden Sword Guard. The captain of the Bronze Sword Guard is Luo Zonghui, eighth grade."
"This is the leader of the Qinglong Gang's Bone City branch, Qu Yifeng, fifth grade."
"The one next to him is the deputy hall master, Wan Renmin, fifth grade."
"This is the branch dean of Ximo Academy, the branch head of the Xiang family, Xiang Guichen, fifth rank."
"The one next to him is the younger brother of the head of the Xiang family, Xiang Fu, fifth grade."
"Actually, there is a Dongchang stall team, but they didn't come. The captain is Dongchang stall Han Pinfang, seventh grade."
"On the surface, there are just these people, but secretly, those from the Demon Cult and the "Red Butterfly Society", I have no control over these."
Jiang Shuwu treated Ye Liuyun with utmost respect.
Hearing this, Ye Liuyun nodded, then stood up and said to everyone present: "Today, I want you to cooperate in the investigation of the "Military Defense Map Theft Case." Now everyone lines up and accepts the investigation one by one."
As soon as these words came out.
The whole place was in an uproar.
They originally thought that the city lord invited them over to have a drink, but now they are assisting in the investigation?
What do you think of these respectable guys? Common people who can come and go at a moment's notice?
"Why?" Xiang Fu, the younger brother of the head of the Xiang family, was the first to ask.
